Help shape the future of Victoria’s Multicultural Policies
The Victorian Refugee Health Network notes the recent election results and congratulates MPs and Senators on their election to the new Federal Parliament.
Prior to the 2025 Federal Election, Refugee Council of Australia produced a briefing paper providing an overview of the public positions on refugee issues of the three parties with the largest representation in the Australian Parliament – the Australian Labor Party, the Liberal-National Coalition and the Australian Greens. The briefing includes their proposed policies and the public positions taken on major legislation introduced in the past Parliament. They also provide a link to minor parties and independents when they have published positions on refugee policies on their websites.
The Victorian Refugee Health Network reiterates it’s auspicing agency’s acknowledgement of country:
The primary locations of the Victorian Foundation for Survivors of Torture Inc., Brunswick, Dallas, Dandenong, Sunshine, and our outpost location in Ringwood, are on the traditional lands of the Kulin nation. In keeping with Foundation House’s aspiration to heal individuals and communities we recognise the loss of land, children, language, lore and spiritual and physical wellbeing of the people of the Kulin nation and other Indigenous Victorians due to the impact of colonisation.
We believe that acknowledging the past and its impact on the present is vital in building strong Victorian communities. We recognise the survival and enduring strengths of Victorian Indigenous culture in spite of such dispossession and aim to build respectful and informed relationships with the Victorian Indigenous community based on the acknowledgment of their unique position as the traditional owners of Victoria. As such, Foundation House is committed to the acknowledgment and participation of Indigenous Victorians within Foundation House events and this is reflected in our official protocols.
